Nature-God's Handiwork
Isn't the handiwork of God intricate and amazing!
One of Mike's customers gave us some seeds from a vine she had around her front porch. It is called a Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine. We usually plant Morning Glories around our mailbox and have had some really unique looking mailbox decorations every summer but this year we planted the new seeds. They are so unique. They have covered the whole box and even around the front now. They have purple flowers that hang in clusters and resemble Snapdragons in a way. Actually, the bloom is not the most unique part of the vine. The dark purple seed pods, varying in size from 3 inches long to a 1/2 inch long. I love "harvesting" them and getting the seeds out. We have enough seeds to plant a forest of this vine next year.
I went out to mail something awhile ago and saw something Mike had pointed out to me. As he backed out of the driveway, he noticed that the Morning Glories have now revived and, of all the colors we have planted, guess which one came out? The purple with the reddish tint inside has come out in a fury. It is so beautiful!!! It is such a unique blend of all the different shades of purple. Only God could blend them so well!
As I opened the mailbox, a big fat bumble bee came out of one of those flowers, just loaded with pollen. As I searched for more dry pods, I saw a praying mantis.
I just couldn't help but stop and praise the Lord for His creatures and His creation. If that is any indication of the intricate designs of heaven, I can't wait to see it!!
Romans 1:18-20
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness:
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse;"
